begin with, ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved watching the Spurs games late at night with my dad. I remember shouting, “Go Timmy Go!” every time he made a basket. In my opinion, at age thirty-nine, he is still the most consistent player in the NBA player who everyday impresses others by what he still has left in the tank.

of trying to win a championship and an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Lebron James’ heat in 2012 James Harden made a grievous choice to leave the Oklahoma city Thunder. In every year since Harden has left Westbrook he has been an all star, made the all NBA first team three times and led the Houston Rockets to the 2nd seed in the Western conference all by himself.
